CLINTON, N.Y.--Zach Punt headed in Doug Garabedian's corner kick in the 88th minute to lead the Connecticut College men's soccer team to a 1-0 NESCAC victory against previously undefeated Hamilton College Saturday.

The Continentals (3-1-1, 1-1-1) NESCAC had posted the program's best start since the 2008 team won its first four games.

The Camels picked up their first conference win of the season. They scored the game's only goal off of Garabedian's corner kick to improve to 3-2-0 overall.

Hamilton goalkeeper Harris Pollack '17 made a season-best five saves, highlighted by a first-half stop on a Camel penalty kick. The Camels were awarded the shot when Ibrahim Mutala '17 was fouled inside the box on a one-on-one situation. Punt took the kick and sent a waist-high shot toward the left post but Pollack dove to deflect it away from the net.

The Continentals were held to just one shot on goal. Connecticut College's Austin DaCunha '17 made a save on a shot by Bayard Geeslin '16 in the 22nd minute. Hamilton's first scoring opportunity came early in the game when a header by Buck Reynolds '15 wound up in front of the goal; the Continentals kicked the ball into the net but were ruled offsides on the play.

Another Continental corner kick led to two scoring opportunities for the hosts; with a strong wind at his back, Alec Talsania '17 bounced a high corner kick past DaCunha but off the cross bar. When the ball landed in front of the far post Frost's shot back toward the near post went side and a bicycle kick by Trevor Bobola '15 went over the net.

Mutala was part of a pair of Camel scoring chances midway through the second half. He sent a pass to Dillon Kerr '15 at the top left corner of the box but after Kerr shed a defender he sent his shot wide right. Three minutes later Pollack came out of the net to keep Mutala from controlling a long cross at the left post.

Both teams face non-conference opponents Tuesday; Hamilton plays a 7 p.m. game at Utica and Connecticut College hosts Coast Guard.
